A family day out at Lauwersmeer
There’s fun for the whole family to be found around the Lauwersmeer. Here, there’s space to climb, scramble, get messy and even learn a thing or two.

Fortunately, there’s also plenty of opportunity just to play – in the nature playground, for example. Or drive just a little further to DoeZoo or Zeehondencentrum Pieterburen. Plenty to do!
